Magpie Monday

[librarygeek]

DD is having their Magpie Monday here today, go prompt for an unexpected gift! https://dialecticdreamer.dreamwidth.org/499900.html

I posted this:

My heart problem is congenital and genetic, subaortic stenosis tends to run in families. I thought it being overcautious to need clearance from my cardiologist before getting pregnant, but followed my GYN/OB's request. I'm glad I did.

Can Dr. Elizabeth Finn surgically repair the next generation baby, when she had done the surgery on the mother as one of her first surgeries? I found it a comfort that my doctor spoke with his Japanese accented English, and accepted my profuse gratitude in Japanese after seeing my removed bits with only a smile.

"Arigato Gozaimashti, Toyado-sama!" I accidentally called him a minor deity, but I was profusely grateful for my life restored, after having over 4 cms of a fibrous membrane removed from attachment points at my aortic and mitral valves.

And got a wonderful story for a very unexpected gift!

And here was my story present: https://dialecticdreamer.dreamwidth.org/500075.html

I was born with a heart problem, patent ductus arteriosis. They fixed it when I was 18 months old, and aside from EKGs having one strange trace all is well.

At least all was well until 10 years ago when half my immune system went on permanent hiatus.

So I can sympathize.
